Carlos:
"This one nun, she was alright, she used to say, "Carlos, you think you are an orphan, you are not. You've got a father. God is your father and he is looking after you." And then, you know, I'd say "Well, he's not doing a very good job." Do I believe it, that god's watching? Looking down on the kid, that he sees all the stuff that we see, you know? If he does, where is he? Huh? Why doesn't he stop it?" Doc: "You don't get it." Carlos: "What is it that I don't get?" Doc: "We're on our own, man. I mean, he gave us freedom." Carlos: "Oh, right. That's a great idea to give us the freedom to get a little smack going so we can fold our kid up like an aacordian; just see how it feels." Doc: "Believe it or don't believe it. It's up to you. But you oughtta ask yourself, when you die and you meet God...." Carlos interrupts: "What will I say to him? I'll say, "How dare you!" Yeah, how dare you make a world where kids suffer and die? You let this stuff happen, And we're supposed to love you and light candles and spring for a dollar every time a guy comes around in church with a basket?" Doc scoffs. Carlos: "Hey, hey, I know. He's testing us. That's what they tell you in church. If there was an election, for God, I would not vote for the one we've got now. No, not until he rode with us in the bus, just one day. Kim: "Don't sit too close, Bobby. Ground might open up." Bobby: Yeah, or the lightning." Kim: "At least then we'd know there is something out there." Carlos: "Doc, we ride together. How can you believe in God after seeing what we see?" Doc: "I think you've got it all wrong. I mean, the question is, how can you believe in man?"
